Titolo da definire
Alessandro Baricco · 2011
"After celebrated author Jasper Gwyn suddenly and publicly announces that he will never write another book, he embarks on a strange new career path as a "copyist," holding thirty-day sittings in a meticulously appointed room and producing, at the end, brief but profoundly rich portraits in prose. The surprising, beautiful, and even frightening results are received with rapture by their subjects -- among them Gwyn's devoted assistant, Rebecca; a beautiful fabric importer; a landscape painter; Gwyn's own literary agent; two wealthy newlyweds; a tailor to the Queen; and a very dangerous nineteen-year-old."--Page 4 of cover.

White Nights
Fyodor Dostoevsky · 2025
White Nights is a delicate exploration of human emotions, dreams, and disillusionments, set against the melancholic backdrop of Saint Petersburg. Fyodor Dostoevsky crafts an introspective narrative that reveals the yearnings of a young dreamer whose solitary life takes on new meaning upon meeting Nastenka, a young woman equally shaped by hope and sorrow. The work reflects on the transient nature of encounters and the impact of dreams when confronted with reality. Since its publication, White Nights has been recognized for its lyrical sensitivity and profound psychological insight. Through a simple storyline, Dostoevsky delves into universal themes such as idealized love, loneliness, and the desire for connection, making the novella a timeless portrait of the human condition. The first-person narrative, with its confessional tone, deepens the bond between the protagonist and the reader, lending unique authenticity to the emotions expressed. The enduring relevance of the work lies in its ability to capture the nuances of human relationships and the emotional dilemmas that arise at the threshold between dream and reality. By portraying the fleeting but transformative impact of an encounter, White Nights invites readers to reflect on the ephemerality of happiness and the resilience of hope, even in the face of life's inevitable disappointments.
Weiße Nächte
Fjodor Michailowitsch Dostojewski · 2014
»Es war eine wundervolle Nacht, eine solche Nacht, wie sie vielleicht nur vorkommen kann, wenn wir jung sind, lieber Leser.« – In dieser Nacht treffen in Petersburg zwei einsame Gestalten aufeinander: der Erzähler, ein »halbkranker Städter« und zugleich lebensfremder Träumer, und die junge, naive Nastenka, die verzweifelt die Rückkehr ihres Geliebten erwartet. Aus der zufälligen Begegnung entwickelt sich eine freundschaftlich-liebevolle Zuneigung. In vier Nächten nehmen sie Zuflucht zu intensiven Dialogen und spenden sich gegenseitig Trost. Doch ihr Traum kann der Realität nicht standhalten ... Dostojewskis Novelle erschien erstmals 1848 und gehört zu den schönsten Liebesgeschichten der Weltliteratur.
